What's Good HereAugust 7, 2014Get this and the wings as starters! Chiang Mai sausage w/ herbs, aromatics & Burmese powder. Grilled & served w/ Naam Phrik Num (spicy green chili dip), Khaep Muu (Thai pork rinds) & steamed crudités
- What's Good HereAugust 9, 2014Try the Kung Op Wun Sen - Carolina White prawns baked in a clay pot w/ pork belly, lao jiin, soy, ginger, cilantro root, black pepper, Chinese celery & bean thread noodles.
Lynn Bednar-RandoJune 11, 2018wild boar served cold and was the greens under ice. coconut curry vermicelli with catfish and served cold as well. If these dishes were hot they would’ve been enjoyable. wings were delicious
ElizaAugust 28, 2018Far left is my Som, drinking vinegar. Doesn't sound appetizing but you'll greatly appreciate the sourness when you want to calm the heat in your mouth. Cocktails are great too so go with friends!
Shiri LaraJuly 3, 2016I don't have to tell you to get the wings. Khao soy is 👍🏼. Really delicious and flavorful Thai dishes. The cocktails are killer, no seriously! The staff are attentive and accommodating. Great night!
- EaterApril 23, 2013Dishes include the grilled Chiang Mai sausage with chili paste, the charcoal-grilled hen and the clay pot-baked white prawns. If you go on a weekend, or when the weather is nice, be prepared to wait.
- What's Good HereAugust 7, 2014Ike's Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings are amazing - chicken wings marinated in fish sauce & sugar, deep fried, tossed in caramelized Phu Quoc fish sauce and garlic and served with Vietnamese table salad
The Corcoran GroupDecember 4, 2013We can't say better things about this Thai hotspot. The menu is very unique and extensive, with dishes we've never seen anywhere, but we can't get enough of the pork neck and sticky rice.
Kim PhamMay 18, 2015If you grew up in a Vietnamese household (like I did), these flavours are nothing new & portions smalI. It's a great intro to Southeast Asian flavours if you're in the 'hood, but not worth coming to.
AlexAugust 30, 2016all about the chicken wings, the drinking vinegars, the papaya salad, the pork belly curry, the grilled boar collar, and the sausage. but honestly everything is good.
The khao man som tam is a sleeper hit. Order it and ask for your papaya salad spicy to cut the sweetness of the pork. Also, don't look past the cocktails here or the various daily specials.
Matthew HamiltonSeptember 7, 2016Everything here is delicious! No Pad Thai here, way more interesting Thai food. Tons of amazing dishes, slow spicy, fast spicy, fresh ingredients. Go here if you want the best Thai of your life.
James CMarch 31, 2018Quality food at a reasonable price. Except for the chicken wings which are amazing the food is all really good and hard to choose one dish. Served family style so it’s great for groups.
Time Out New YorkApril 11, 2013NY’s new Pok Pok is even better than the West Coast original. The wait-time for a taste of garlicky muu kham waan & incendiary duck laap can be interminable. Bangkok, though, is a 25-hr flight away. Read more
Wandering FoodieApril 30, 2015All the food is excellent! If you like pickles try the drinking vinegars - awesomely different and refreshing. The papaya salad was good and the pork belly curry and smoky eggplant salad mindblowing
naveenJanuary 18, 2018every dish is so great in its own way - you'll definitely want to share a few things, just so you can try more of them. get one of their great special cocktails too!
Ted ConbeerSeptember 17, 2014Actually authentic northern Thai food (I lived there for 13 months). Eat everything with sticky rice and a Singha over ice. Everything is awesome - don't look for your familiar American Thai dishes
Julie BiSeptember 1, 2014This place reminds me of the food in Chiang Mai! Really authentic, get the pok pok salad (papaya salad) and definitely the khao soi (a mildly spicy curry noodle). Try the drinking vinegar cocktails!!
Nicholas VanderBorghJanuary 16, 2014The duck salad kicked my ass. I realize i think my friend was putting the chilies on my side Evil twin seemed to chill the spice. Pork bellies were great. Hot totter is good. Friend loved the wings !
JeffreyJuly 13, 2014Night-market street food: mussel-and-egg crêpe called hoi thawt, a rotisserie chicken stuffed with lemongrass and herbs, a soothing khao soi, a mild curry that’s warmed by its intricate mix of spices.- ElizaAugust 28, 2018If you're a durian lover like I am, this won't satisfy that love (tbh, nothing is better than eating the actual fruit) but you'll still enjoy this dessert!
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantAugust 11, 2014Loved It - great vibe, staff and food is delicious. Especially recommend the spicy forest mushrooms, the chiang Mai sausage (divine!!), and the durian flan dessert. Cocktails are fab too.
Ivy MahsciaoJune 10, 2015Wings, wings, wings. Then some. Get a big group and soak in the scenes, and saunter about the Heights and Red Hook to walk it off so you can eat again.
Chophel NamgyalOctober 13, 2017The wings are worth it alone! Spicy papaya salad and the pork belly curry 🙌
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨March 30, 2014Loved this restaurant! Came with a big group of friends ordered and shared almost everything on the menu and loved the dishes! Mango Alexander and Lord Bergamot were our preferred drinks! Cheers!!!
EpicuriousAugust 3, 2014A revelation in texture and flavor, the sticky, salty-sweet, umami-rich glazed cult dish is then topped with crispy deep-fried caramelized garlic. Read more
Catríona Lohan-ConwayDecember 27, 2012Mushroom salad was delicious but v spicy... Not for faint hearted. Brussels delicious too. Branzino/sea bass special was so so ESP after spicy salad. Suggest replacing it with a basil trout instead.
Kathy MatthiesenSeptember 15, 2015Not your typical Thai restaurant! I highly recommend the pork belly curry. The catfish is great too if you're looking for a lighter option - reminded me of Pho without the soup.
Alex PyatetskyNovember 22, 2014I had the wings and papaya salad. Was surprisingly filling and I was sitting across the bar from David Chang (I think). Possibly my favorite meal in NY. Going back for the rotisserie.
Kathleen DuganMarch 24, 2013Best Thai food I've had in the US. Mind blown. The curry and the pork neck were favorites. And the wings. And the steak salad. Too hard to choose. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes!
Sandra RubinchikAugust 20, 2015They take reservations now! The perfect place to turn up the heat on a cold winter night. Be sure to order a few mild dishes as well. Your stomach lining will thank you.
EvanNovember 25, 2012First of all: yes, you want fermented black crab on the papaya salad. pork laap, pork neck, pork belly/shoulder curry, broken crepe, cha ca la vong are my choice orders. And don't forget a jelly beer!
Pramod PaiMay 7, 2015Must try there Thai sweet and sour vinegar soda to wash down the thai cuisine which perfectly blends well with this drink.- Cocktails, wings, steak salad, and mango sticky rice (when it's in season)
Russell HirschornMarch 29, 2016Pretty great although off the beaten path. Wings, sausage, papaya salad, clay pot prawns were the winners. Didnt get to have the hen.
The Khanom Jiin Sao Naam is a delightfully cool & not too sweet dish to share alongside hotter & spicier dishes such as the Neua Nam Tok. Dessert: mango sticky rice, of course! Delicious!
The fish sauce wings are everything. If you have a low threshold for spiciness, be careful and get some iced greens, sticky rice and drinking vinegar (all the flavors are yummy) to curb the heat.
Stephanie QuonNovember 12, 2014You won't be disappointed with anything on the menu. Be prepared for a wait, but plan on drinks at Whiskey Soda Lounge prior and possibly an order of the wings and time will fly by.
Great for sharing. Loved the signature soup, the catfish and those chicken wings are amazing (as long as you enjoy a bit if spice). Even the water is delicious here!- What's Good HereAugust 7, 2014Get this for dessert - Khao Niaw Mamuang - Yellow mango with pandanus-scented sweet sticky rice, salted coconut cream and toasted sesame seeds.
AmateurConciergeJune 21, 2015The wings, the celray cocktail and the affogato were delicious. Great if you're in the hood but when you layer in the isolation and hype there may be moments of disappointment.
Santi AmayaMarch 14, 2016The pork belly curry is a must have. If you like spice, try the boar collar. Beware: IT IS BEYOND SPICY! And obviously get the chicken wings to start...
Ernesto BernalAugust 6, 2014A bit of a hike even for someone who lives in Brooklyn but it's so gotdamn worth the trip. Order a second tray of wings to-goooo.
Shaina LiAugust 22, 2012Well worth the trip. We arrived ~4:30pm for the 5:30pm opening to beat the long (!) line. We loved the eggplant salad, spicy duck salad, pork belly, and of course, the fish sauce wings.
